now eighteen years old, and has been sick all
his life, and not able 10 do any work Of any
kind. I thought he had dropsy, as his blood
appetite or cOlor and was entirely unfit for any
thing. being in such an awful condition. have
during the last ten years exp. cted him to die at
any moment, he could not walk one hundred
yards without resting two or three times. In
three or four days after giving him Briggs
Nunnbetter Tonic Pills, he did whole day 8
work In the field, being 50 much improved. lie
now has q good appetite, and is rapidly improv-
ing in color and strength. I know the Pills
have given him new lease of life, and recon-
mend them above every medicine on earth My
wife has also been in a feeble condition for some
time, and they have improved her alsn very
much. Ifanybody needs a Tonic, my advice is,

The r.. g. IL r. Railroad.

We have never allowed our confidence in the
building Of a railroad from Florida, ola Balm
bridge and Cuthbert, TO the West to waver.
For some months past we have had little doubt
that such road would DO built in the immediate
future. We had determined, however, to publish
nothing that might elate the hopes of our people
for a time on mere rumor or hearsay. We be
lieve that the Birmingham, Georgia and Florida
road will be built 1t was asserted by few
over-conndent persons in Cuthbert that work
would begin by the 10Th of March. A few be-
lieved il. Work did not begin, nor has it yet
begun, and now they are inclined TO wag their
Tuesday, the 18th inst, is the day appointed to
make the last payment for the old road bed from
this place TO cambridge. Those Of our citizens
who are interested in this payment see no reason
to doubt that the payment will be promptly
made. Why the incorporators Of the B., G. &
F. road should pay out this money unless they
intend to build the road, we cannot The
reader must understand that unless they build
and equip the road they forfeit all right TO the
roadbed. So that there cannot possibly be any
trick " In this purchase

We hear that there is prospect of a railroad
from Montgomery, Ala, direct TO Bainbridge.
This would be big thing and If the Plant Sys-
tenn is interested, which we suspect, such road
will surely be built. Unless Mr.. Plant can con-
troll the F. R. & N. system In Florida the Mont
gomery road TO cambridge appears to us to be
very necessary TO him, especially in view of The
Birmingham & Florida enterprise. Anyway,

Dress in America.

There are no women In tl1 world,
in my opinion, who knows 50 much
about dress and who dress as hand
somely as the American women. An
American woman knows how to dress
for every occasion, and she dresses in
better taste than any other woman in
the world. She is sensible enough to
know that good clothes make one feel
easy in company and help very much
in the social world.
We will give to the French the credit
of originating designs. We may say
that they were born and raised TO that.
They have the time to do it, which
in America we have not. Moreover,
the goods are all manufactured there,
and have that advantage over US. The
moment that you see piece OF goods
you get an idea of making 1t up in
some particular way. Most OF the
manufacturers of goods will furnish
the trimmings free TO dress s-maker in
order to get customer to Introduce
the trimmings or the lace. Therefore,
they can afford to spend their time on
the work. Sometimes they produce a
wonderfully good thing, and 1t IS re-
marRable how they produce 1t. But L
do not think that ParisianS deserve 50
much credit. IL we had the advant-
age of getting the first cut from the
fabric as it comes off the loom, and II
we had the years in the past that they
! have had to progress In this matter,
we should do as well as they do. When
our country becomes older We shall be
rs noted as France in this respect; We
| shall not only originate the styles bu'
/ produce the goods.
